The barometer increased 7 points from November to a reading of 174. Both of the barometer&#8217;s sub-indices, the <i>Index of Current Conditions<\/i> and the <i>Index of Future Expectations<\/i>, were also higher in December than in November. The <i>Index of Current Conditions<\/i> climbed 15 points to 202 and the <i>Index of Future Expectations<\/i> increased by 5 points to a reading of 161. The <i>Ag Economy Barometer<\/i> is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers&#8217; responses to a telephone survey. This month&#8217;s survey was conducted from <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 7-11, 2020<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The rise in the <i>Ag Economy Barometer<\/i> was primarily driven by farmers&#8217; perception that the current situation on their farms really improved. The sharp rise in the <i>Index of Current Conditions<\/i> is correlated with the farm income boost provided by the ongoing rally in crop prices. That appears to be the driving force behind producers&#8217; optimism,&#8221; said <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3025817-1&amp;h=3187213896&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fag.purdue.edu%2Fcommercialag%2Fageconomybarometer%2Fteam%2Fjim-mintert%2F&amp;a=James+Mintert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"xn-person\">James Mintert<\/span><\/a>, the barometer&#8217;s principal investigator and director of <span class=\"xn-org\">Purdue University&#8217;s<\/span> Center for Commercial Agriculture. <\/p>\n<p>Producers were noticeably more inclined to think now is a good time to make large investments in their farming operations than in November. The <i>Farm Capital Investment<\/i> Index increased 13 points in December to a record high of 93. The percentage of farmers expecting to increase their machinery purchases in the upcoming year rose 5 points to 15 percent in December, while the percentage expecting to reduce their purchases declined by the same amount.<\/p>\n<p>They were also bullish about farmland values and cash rental rates. In December, the percentage of farmers expecting farmland values to rise over the next year increased 9 points from November to a reading of 35. The percentage expecting farmland values to rise over the next five years increased 11 points from November to a life of survey high 65 percent. <\/p>\n<p>Reflecting the improvement in crop production profitability, more producers said they expect farmland cash rental rates to rise in 2021 when compared to survey results from late summer. In December, 18 percent of respondents said they expect cash rental rates to rise in 2021, double the percentage who felt that way in August and September. Moreover, it&#8217;s clear that any downward pressure on cash rental rates evident earlier in the year has nearly disappeared, as just 5 percent of farmers said they expect to see cash rental rates decline in 2021 compared to 17 percent who felt that way in August.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers were less optimistic when asked about the on-going trade dispute between U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>. In the first quarter of 2020, an average of 76% of respondents thought the trade dispute&#8217;s ultimate resolution would favor U.S. agriculture, by spring that average declined to 62 percent, and by December it dropped to an all-time survey low of 47 percent. When asked whether they expect U.S. ag exports to increase over the next five years, only 51 percent of respondents in December said they expect to see export growth.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about what factors might be motivating the shift in producers&#8217; sentiment pre- and post-November election, a series of questions focused on producers&#8217; future expectations for environmental regulations, taxes and other key aspects of the agricultural economy, were included on the October, November and December surveys. In December, farmers continued to express concerns following the November election about several key policy issues affecting agriculture. Over 80 percent of farmers said they expect environmental regulations to become more restrictive in December, compared to 41 percent who felt that way in October. Over 70 percent of producers expect to see higher income and estate taxes compared to 35 and 40 percent, respectively, in October. One-third of farmers said they expect the farm income safety net to weaken compared to 18 percent and just over one-fourth of producers said they expect government support for the ethanol industry to weaken compared to 17 percent who felt that way in October.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full Ag Economy Barometer report at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3025817-1&amp;h=2575153653&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ag%2Fagbarometer&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ag%2Fagbarometer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer<\/a>.
